The Statement of Allah the Most High.: "...And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state..." (V.22:2)

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, 'O Adam!' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik our Lord, and Sa`daik ' Then there will be a loud call (saying), Allah orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire.' Adam will say, 'O Lord! Who are the mission for the (Hell) Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of each thousand, take out 999.' At that time every pregnant female shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of Allah." (22.2) (When the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned this), the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in color) whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine will be taken out and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number of other people) will be like a black hair on the side of a white ox, or a white hair on the side of a black ox, and I hope that you will be onefourth of the people of Paradise." On that, we said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "I hope that you will be) one-third of the people of Paradise." We again said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "(I hope that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise." So we said, Allahu Akbar."

It is related from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Rising, 'O Adam!' He will say, At Your service and obedience, our Lord!' There will be a call, 'Allah commands you to bring out from your descendants to be sent to the Fire.' He will say, 'O Lord, what is [amount] of those sent to the Fire?' He will say, 'Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand.' At that time the child will become white-haired 'and every pregnant woman will abort the contents of her womb, and you will think people drunk when they are not drunk; it is just that the punishment of Allah is so severe.' (22:2) That was hard on the people and their faces were ashen. The Prophet * said, 'Nine hundred and ninety-nine will be taken from Ya'juj and Ma'juj and one from you. Among people you are only like a black hair on the hide of a white ox, or like a white hair on the hide of a black ox. I hope that you will be a quarter of the people of the Garden.' We said, 'Allah is greater!' Then he said, 'A third of the people of the Garden,' and we said, 'Allah is greater!' Then he said, 'Half of the people of the Garden,' and we said, 'Allah is greater!'" Al-A'mash said, "You will think people drunk when they are not drunk," and he said, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand." Jarir, 'Isa ibn Yunus and Abu Mu'awiya said, "Drunk, yet not drunk."
